AAM 在 2016 年冬季测试中展示最新的动力传动系统技术

底特律，2016 年 3 月 23 日 -- American Axle & Manufacturing Holdings, Inc. (AAM)（纽约证券交易所代码： AXL）,今天 宣布完成其 2016 年冬季 测试活动。公司的年度冬季 测试包括从 1 月下旬开始的一系列活动，是一项全球客户技术展示和驾驶活动，在美国密歇根州 Brimley 和瑞典 Arjeplog 的试验场举行。AAM 在 2016 年的活动中增加了 16 辆样车，供客户在最极端条件下测试 AAM 最新机械和纯电传动系统技术的性能并试驾车辆。

AAM 董事长兼首席执行官 David C. Dauch 表示：“冬季测试不仅仅是测试和验证我们的部件和系统；这也是一次邀请来自世界各地的客户从最佳位置（驾驶室）体验我们最新技术的机会。”“AAM 的一系列样车展示了我们对技术领先地位的承诺，并证明我们有能力提供满足当前 和未来客户需求的创新解决方案。”

AAM 的 2016 年冬季 测试活动包括 20 项全球冬季测试演示活动，供OEM 代表在实际操作环境中参加驾驶和学习计划、技术演示和赛道活动。总共有 16 辆采用 AAM 机械和纯电传动系统技术的车辆在多个冰雪覆盖和操控赛道等极端低温条件下进行了测试。

AAM 的 2016 年冬季 测试中采用的一些关键技术包括：

  • e-AAMTM 混合动力和纯电传动系统.AAM 的混合动力和纯电传动技术可提高燃油效率，减少尾气排放，并改善动力安全性、加速性能和 eAWD 牵引力。此外，如果配备 AAM 的 eTorque Vectoring 解决方案（一种模块化系统，可在整个车速范围内提供高达 1200 Nm 的差动扭矩），客户能够在所有车速下体验 AAM 的“真正扭矩矢量分配系统”，从而提供具有竞争力的系统优势。
  • QUANTUM™ 轻量化车桥和驱动单元.AAM 最新的机械动力传动系统创新是一系列全新的、完全重新设计的轻量化车桥和驱动单元。AAM 的高级工程团队已经开发出革命性的车桥和驱动单元设计，成功地显著减轻重量（高达35%），提高了燃油经济性和效率，并可扩展到多个应用 — 所有这些都不会降低性能或动力，同时又简化了这些关键动力传动系统部件的制造流程。

“我们的 e-AAM 混合动力和纯电传动系统为客户提供了满足 CO2 排放量和燃油经济性要求的解决方案，同时通过提高驾驶员的信心和改进整体驾驶体验，有效地增加了客户价值。在减轻重量以及提高效率、耐用性和车辆性能方面，我们的最新车桥 QUANTUM 处于创新领域的最前沿。”AAM 动力传动系统产品工程部副总裁 兼首席技术官 Philip R. Guys 表示。“AAM 正为机械和纯电传动系统技术的未来提供动力，而且我们的OEM 客户在 2016 年冬季 测试中的压倒性积极反响进一步巩固了我们作为行业技术领导者的地位。”

AAM 的 2016 年冬季 测试样车采用的其他产品技术包括：AAM 首次面市的 EcoTrac® 可断开式全轮驱动系统；VecTrac™ 扭矩矢量分配后驱动模组；以及 TracRite® 牵引增强差速器产品组合，包括我们的电子限滑差速器 (eLSD) 产品系列。
